UVA/B his shell isn't normal because he was without food, water and light for nearly 3 months (something that I thought is impossible for a turtle) and last week he again crawled out of tank. My dad discovered at the right time so I was able to spot him and bring him back,
Today I found him missing so I looked into the hidden spaces and found home motionless or hibernating. The winter is over why do they keep on hibernating? I brought him back win at Baskin area
Now I am worried, with those dimensions the capacity the tank will be 55 gallon, I thought it should be sufficient. I don't have the luxury to own a garden where I can build pond. I live in apartment. How big of the tank should it be? I can allow them to roam outside the tank as long as they are...
This is his home, from where he escaped. Right now they are small but in 6 months i will make a custom tank like this . What’s your suggestion? I am an aquascaper I have 2 high tech Aquascape tanks but for these turtles I am thinking of having a tank with dimensions 36 x 18 x 18 inches.

I experienced a miracle today. Way back in December one of the slider turtles disappeared, I looked for him everywhere and could find. I thought he was gone. Today I found him right under my dad's office table. Alive. So I put him back into the tank. How is it possible for a turtle to survive...

This is my setup the tank has 3 options for baking, the cave and the acrylic. The light is focussed on both the basking areas.
I change water every week. But this time I partially changed the water because that white thing that you see under the wire is calcium, something that I recently bought...
Is it something that can cause problems later? I was watching few videos on YT and I hope its not shell rot. Just in case its shell rot how can I find out
